Hi all,
I'm asking in here because there's a live quote I'm currently writing and don't want it to be in the public area of the forum.
I've been asked to install 3x FCU for under-the-counter fridges (domestic) in a commercial setting for a bar in a barn.
They want to be able to remotely switch these from a 3 gang switch elsewhere under the counter. Wiring back to an DP isolator in the form of a 20A Emergency lighting style Key Switch to provide isolation from the rest of the circuit that it's being extended from, should maintenance be required locally.
I've proposed 2 install methods - my preferred approach which is PVC conduit, 2.5mm2 singles and metal clad fittings.
With parts & markup and labour (estimating 2 - 3 hours on site) it comes out at about £225. I'm worried that this may seem too much, but it might not be enough either!
The other approach is possibly more in line with what they have everywhere else in their barn that is just 2.5mm T&E clipped direct in to Plastic accessories. Less money, same installation format, but to me it doesn't feel like a good method with T&E in a bar counter.
I am also going to tell them that as an additional, it would be best to wire it back to the memshield 2 board that is about 50 m away so that it's on a separate circuit completely. But that's a discussion point all in itself, depending on what is used on that circuit already.
Just needing a sounding board I guess.
